i once said my strings pop every few months... but now that has been revised

I popmy strings in about 2-3 weeks per racket, its hard to gauge because i switch off between my two rackets. Both are strung at 27-29lbs with bg-65. I play really often now though, so thats probably the reason for popping the them so often. I play about... 6 times a week? Maybe more, less, i don't know. I play an offensive style btw. Stringing is expensive, but im too scared to string my own rackets at high tension

do the strings pop because they've been used too much or do they pop because they're old? and how do you know if they're gonna pop or not . i've had bg70pro for almost 2 month and it seems to be alright. i can't tell if the tension is lower or not... how can you tell?? btw it seems to me badminton is a very costly sport- equipment, stringing, tournament fees, accesories, and lessons...

Both, strings will have wear from usages, and you can take a close look on them and you should be able to find the wear (if you have used it enough).

Badminton is a very costy sport indeed, the most costing thing I guess would be shuttles.

i was using yonex 65Ti but after the 3rd month i just cut it, the stirng was fine when it was new, but once the tension is lost i hate it...trying 88TI now, see how long it lasts me.. oh yeah i was using 22lb on the 65Ti, i'm trying 24lb on 88Ti now

BG80 is known to break pretty quick... I went the Ti route bc i wanted to save money even if it sacrificed a lil performance, but i realized taht after a while its not saving money cuz there's no tension ... its not fun to play with anymore... and i ended up just cutting it... so i'm hoping this new string will be better, and it is...so far... the 88ti...good string =)

If you are not satisfied with the service life of your strings, try to ask your stringer to not use the awl to poke the string through the grommets at the four corners of the frame, where the main and cross strings share a common grommet with each other. You will be surprised how much bruising the strings suffer here. Also, don't use an awl to help you finish off a tie-knot. I doubt many stringers can really string a racquet without an awl, which is a pity because the use of an awl does shorten the life of your strings.

im thinking of getting my racquet restrung (armortec500) wat kind of string and tension would u guys suggest?? i want something that'll last awhile, but with good power. power>durability>control btw im using a bg70pro rite now
